Exercises is best and healthiest way of reducing weight and decreasing back pain. Treatment for both the problems is exercises. There are no magic pills which will make you slim and cure your back pain.
You can try all the possible treatments in this world. But best is exercises. You will need diet changes in addition. Increase protein rich diet and reduce oily foods.

Vitamin d deficiency is common and is often underestimated as a cause of chronic leg pain. Please check your vit d and calcium level first.
Other causes of leg pain results from wear and tear, overuse, or injuries in joints or bones or in muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Leg pain can also be caused by blood clots, varicose veins or poor circulation.
To relieve mild pain:
stay off your leg as much as possible
apply an ice pack or bag of frozen peas to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day
elevate your leg whenever you sit or lie down
please go to a physiotherapist if:
you have pain during or after walking
you have swelling in both legs
your pain gets worse
your symptoms don't improve after a few days of home treatment
you have painful varicose veins
if you feel the pain is from muscle cramp then you need to drink a lot of water because poor fluid intake (dehydration) may predispose to cramps also low blood levels of either calcium or magnesium directly cause cramps. Best wishes.

Although you have provided a limited information regarding your leg pain in your age but I will try to figure out few important reasons for leg pains ------------------------- 1. Muscular cramps due to many reasons and the major one is dehydration due to drinking less water during the day--------
2. Leg bone pains due to exhaustion due to vitamin-d deficiency-----
3. Legs pain can also be due to general weakness or any medical condition that you are suffering from like back pain-------------------------
so simply by asking for leg pain will not solve your problem but it can be solved by identifying the exact reason and working accordingly---------
although I will prescribe you few homoeopathic medicines which will help you relieving your pains but again, a history of your complaints will solve your problem permanently----------------------
homoeopathic medicine---------------------------
rhus tox 30 (dr reckeweg) drink 5 drops direct on tongue 3 times daily.--------------
vitamin-d plus (bakson) chew 1 tab daily----------------
drink 2 glass milk daily---------------
go for blood vitamin-d nd esr test---------------------
